It’s so hard to know what to say
To someone who feels so lost,
So I will stand here for you
In the wind and the rain
And I will be the lighthouse you need.
Take my hand and breathe again
And I will guide you home.
She’s that girl
Who doesn’t believe
In herself all that
Much
And for the life of me
I can’t understand
Why
Because my belief
In her
Goes beyond the sky.

"Iris?" Cane called her name as softly as he could, though he was fighting back the urge to move inside of her. He couldn’t hold back now, there was no way for him to not go through with this. He would be doomed if Iris asked him to stop, but still, he was determined to stop if that was what she wanted.
Tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes and Cane kissed them.
"J- just a moment," Iris said, she felt so full, even overwhelmed with him seated deep inside her. It was still painful, though this was not the first time they had done it. Probably, it was because they didn’t do it regularly.
Meanwhile, Cane held himself back, his back drenched with sweat, as he endured the torture. His breathing turned labored, as he waited for her to be more comfortable.
Only when Iris kissed his chin and nodded softly at him, did he start to move again, but he lost a little bit control there when he thrusted her too deep and this made Iris arch her back and cry out in pain, yet, Cane couldn’t stop, he managed to slow down his pace, but he was long far gone...
"Cane..." Iris felt her whole body shaking, as he moved in and out of her and with every thrust, he only went deeper than the last. She braced herself for the pain.
But, surprisingly, it didn’t last for long. A moment later, she could feel how her body started to react to his fervor.
The feeling was so surreal she couldn’t help but ask him to move faster, and her wish was granted.
This quiet night was filled with the sounds of their labored breathings as their bodies collided against one another. The sweet scent of sex filled this magical place, as fireflies appeared on the surface of the lake, the soft yellow glow from them caught their attention, as Cane and Iris tilted their heads to see the beautiful sight before them.
It looked like the stars came down to them.
"It’s beautiful..." Iris said breathlessly.
"They are nothing compared to you," Cane replied, as he moved faster and bit his mark on her shoulder, his teeth didn’t sink too deep, but of course, it would leave bruises in the morning.
Suddenly, Iris tensed and her body convulsed around him, as she bit his shoulder to muffle her cries, as waves of pleasure washed over her once again.
But, Cane was not done yet. He just started...
He pulled out and flipped Iris’ body, so her back was facing him. Iris screeched because she knew what kind of sight Cane would be greeted with, but Cane didn’t give a damn about her scars. She was beautiful nonetheless.
Cane bit her back lightly while he pulled her ass toward him and made her kneel down, as he entered her again in this position, while Iris was still reeling from her third climax. He rubbed her clit while still moving inside her and this made Iris feel like her body was just a breath away from giving up, as she started to be aroused again. How could her body take it? How long would it take for Cane to get his release?
"A moment, I will get your medicine." Cane stood up and walked across the room, while Iris stared at herself.
She was sure it was Cane, who had carried her back, as she was too tired and sleepy to do it on her own. She remembered that she fell asleep after she heard the way Cane moaned out her name. Iris didn’t know her name could be said so melodiously.
And the way his body shuddered and how he breathed heavily when he came undone, it made her want more... she was right when she thought, the sound of his voice when he got his release would be as blissful as the sound of his laugh, if not more...
Right there, Iris stopped herself because she didn’t want Cane to smell her arousal again. Ugh! She felt so embarrassed of herself to even think about that and get aroused when she barely survived last night. Well... even though she wouldn’t complain.
"Open your legs," Cane said, as he pulled away the blanket.
"Hhuh? What?" Iris was not quick enough to secure the blanket around her body, so soon, she was sitting there with only her night dress without any undergarments on, something that she just realized.
"Open your legs, Iris. I need to reapply it every three hours. You are swollen down there, that’s why you feel sore," Cane explained it calmly, but his eyes darkened a few shades.
"I- I will do it," Iris said. She was mortified to let Cane see her down there when her mind was sober enough to feel bashful.
"I have already seen everything, Iris. What are you embarrassed about?" Cane then sat down, pulled up her dress and pushed her legs slightly apart.
He reapplied the medicine on her intimate part, which made Iris protest, but she was too tired and had no strength left to push him away. Therefore, she could only stare at the ceiling and pray he would be done quickly. She was too embarrassed to see him between her legs again.
However, Cane really took his time, as he did it slowly and attentively. He must have smelled her arousal again, which she tried to hold back, but this time, he said nothing about it and focused on his task.
Iris felt her soul had left her body when Cane was finally done, pulled down her dress and covered her body with a blanket.
"I will ask someone to get your meals and medicine," Cane told her. He didn’t realize since when it became a habit of him to tell Iris what he was going to do.
Once Cane returned, he observed her more.
"Do you feel pain anywhere else?"
Iris shook her head. "I am fine, Cane. You don’t need to worry."
She was wrong, Cane was not worried, he was scared.
